Mass Spectrometry Imaging Tracks Different Starting Steps of Benzalkonium Degradation
A new study has used high-resolution mass spectrometry imaging to map how benzalkonium—an antiseptic and common disinfectant—begins to break down inside wastewater biofilms. The work,...
Synchronized ventilatory chest compressions improve outcomes in asphyxiated piglets
Pediatric resuscitation guidelines typically pair uninterrupted chest compressions with asynchronous ventilation after an advanced airway is placed—a practice built on the idea that minimizing interruptions...
Low-Dose Baricitinib and Danazol Combination Shows Promise in Primary ITP
Viral science news reported a new trial aimed at improving outcomes for people living with primary immune thrombocytopenia (ITP), a disorder in which the immune...
Structural inequality drives commuting rhythms between stationarity and mobility
A new study published in Nature Communications links inequality to how people move—and how they pause—across a typical day. By comparing mobility patterns with measures...
circRNA regulatory loops control sperm apoptosis signaling by switching survival
A new study in Cell Death Discovery reports how human sperm decide whether to survive or activate apoptosis, revealing a “sperm survival switch” built from...
In-Utero SARS-CoV-2 Exposure Linked to Neurodevelopmental Outcomes at 12 and 22 Months
In a new study reported in J Perinatology, researchers investigate whether exposure to SARS-CoV-2 during pregnancy can shape early brain and behavioral development in children....
Lithium Exposure Across Western U.S.: Water and Urinary Levels in Strong Heart Study
Lithium—once associated mainly with batteries—has been quietly showing up in human biology, according to new findings from a major U.S. cohort study. Researchers report that...
Sacred Sites Shelter Native Plant Diversity in an Urban Tropical Landscape
In tropical cities that expand faster than ecosystems can adapt, a new study highlights an unexpected biodiversity ally: sacred natural sites. Researchers report that these...
Benserazide brain penetration inversely linked to levodopa response in Parkinson’s
A new viral science update links how well a Parkinson’s drug reaches the brain with how effectively patients respond to levodopa. The study, led by...
Closed-Loop Theranostic Hydrogel-Electronics Patch for Chronic Wound Care
A research team has unveiled a closed-loop theranostic patch designed to tackle the chronic wound problem that persists in many patients despite standard care. Reported...
Mechanisms and Regulation of Necroptosis: Clinical Relevance Explored
Necroptosis—an inflammatory, programmed form of lytic cell death—has moved closer to the center of modern biomedical research. Executed by MLKL (mixed lineage kinase domain-like protein),...
Ticagrelor and Fazamorexant Drug Interaction Alters Pharmacokinetics in Healthy Volunteers
Viral Science News A new phase I clinical study has mapped how two widely discussed drugs—ticagrelor and fazamorexant—may interact in the human body, focusing on...
Urinary Incontinence in Saudi Seniors: Prevalence, Severity, and Risk Factors
Older adults across Saudi Arabia are experiencing urinary incontinence at a notable rate, according to a new study that maps how widespread the problem is,...
Neural Sampling from Cognitive Maps Enables Goal-Directed Imagination and Planning
A new study in Nature Machine Intelligence reports a brain-inspired approach that lets artificial agents “mentally simulate” routes and actions using internal maps of the...
